Pharmacy Partners of America—2006

A close alliance between a Lone Star Rx pharmacist in Texas and a pharmacy owner in Arkansas started the discussions of forming yet another clone based in Arkansas.  Many Arkansas pharmacies had come together years earlier to form Heartland Pharmacies with the wholesaler Walsh.  While successful in the beginning, when Walsh sold their interest to another wholesaler, the operation eventually dissolved.  Left without a viable supplier the former Heartland leadership met with Ed Heckman.  They seized the opportunity and formed the sixth clone in 2006, Pharmacy Partners of Arkansas.  Within a short time the buying group evolved into the Pharmacy Partners of America—and spread from Arkansas to Missouri, Mississippi and Louisiana.
